Just a few minutes ago, a story appeared online on the Baltimore Sun website. The reported deal is for three years and $20 million.

The money is a bit high for the risk that he will rebound and hit 25-30 home runs but I liked him the best of the free agent options linked to the O's. As I've said before, Camden Yards rewards lefty power. This should relegate Jay Gibbons to DH this year with Millar platooning at first and DH. He is also an insurance policy in case Mora gets hurt or needs a day off. This makes the O's offense a bit more formidable.
